I wrote a whole huge post and man the computer ate it. :-( I apoligize if this sounds a little short since I need to leave to be somewhere.
I don't think you sound like you suck AT ALL. I think you have a pretty impressive jump aresenal there. A quad is impressive, darn it.

But what about the triple loop, do you have that or did you forget to list it? I think you sound like you are really promising skater just based on that, but obviously it is not gonna do you any good at all if you don't have jumps you are missing. I wouuld reccommend going to the university of deleware even if it is just for a summer, it is really far from California. But they are technique experts there. They could fix anything wrong with you double axel that is not making it triple, and same with you loop possibly. There was a girl at the rink I skated at a few years ago went there for a summer, and in that time they fixed her really bad axel into something really great. I went down there to check it out one time when I was on vacation, and I noticed a senior lady there who was known for a really bad high picking leg and she was able to pull it down significantly. I am guessing it was from the coaching there. Unfortunatley when she left I think she fell back into old habits. So i guess most people didn't see what she was fully capable of. But anyway, from what I am seeing that is the specialty here. They even have major for figure skating sciences at the university campus they are a part of. There are alot of skaters there too, so I think they have a system. Which may make it easier to find someone to complete your package and find you and additonal choregrapher. I wouldn't know what to recommend for a choregrapher but I am guessing if you went to huge center like that and worked on that, you would find one pretty easily. One think I would keep in mind is enhancing the style you have or working towards developing a new angle of artistry like we have seen Michelle do many times. Don't go to whoever is hot at the time and has alot of students, or who does everyone's choregraphy at the rink, unless what they do is tailored to you. But I am no expert in choregraphy...and I am admittedly a bit of big UofD fan...so..anyway that is my two cents for what it's worth. Best of luck to you!! I think you will really do well in the future.
Oh one other question for you, I guess to understand if what I said was helpful for you. Are you really looking for a lot of new things or just looking for something to just supplement what you have? It sounds to me like you coach you have has done a good job brining you along, considering you are a novice with a high level of (senior) skills in some areas. But to me it sounds like you may need a supplement coaching, even just for the summer. (like i reccommened above) it oculd fill in some hole you have and add a new perspective, and see thing others might have missed. But its really up to you ultimatley and also your coach to make some descions and changes you want to explore.
